But the profession endeavours to get rid of us by not recognising our motivation and gift. I myself left mainstream within 6 mths due to the working environment and now work in HE and FE where I can really teach our subject and correct the teaching and enthuse students to take up our subject and I am succeeding.

]]>Comment on Personal reflections of a Civil Engineer by Deanna R. Joneshttp://sciencecampaign.org.uk/?p=17389&cpage=1#comment-898607
Wed, 27 May 2015 22:09:02 +0000http://sciencecampaign.org.uk/?p=17389#comment-898607This is really interesting information! I liked what David Dews said about how civil engineering plays a role in the manufacturing industry. It seems like manufacturing takes a lot of expertise in the sciences that civil engineers are trained to handle. I agree with his point about how it’s a career path that’s best taken an interest in at a young age. It seems like a career in civil engineering takes a lot of time and dedication, so being interested in it at a young age seems to help aspiring engineers to be more successful.

]]>Comment on Latest ONS figures bring good and bad news for government investment in R&D by Michael Kenwardhttp://sciencecampaign.org.uk/?p=17003&cpage=1#comment-853883
Wed, 08 Apr 2015 09:37:20 +0000http://sciencecampaign.org.uk/?p=17003#comment-853883This not uses the term “the proportion of government spending invested in UK R&D”. It might be better to find way to remove the word “spending”. R&D is an investment.

Politicians like to differentiate between spending and investment in other areas. They invest in railways but spend on healthcare. So the language colours perceptions.

Interestingly, perhaps, the US has recently changed how it accounts for R&D. To quote a recent newsletter from the National Science Foundation (NSF) “Expenditures for research and development are now capitalized— incorporated as investment—in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and other national income and product accounts (NIPAs) produced and published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).”

A part of this move was to put R&D investment “in a new asset category called ‘intellectual property products,’ or intangible assets, along with software and entertainment, literary, and artistic originals”.

One consequence of this move is that “the R&D-to-GDP ratio is now modestly lower than what has previously been reported by NSF in its National Patterns of R&D Resources series”. The net effect has been “a 0.1 reduction in the R&D-to-GDP ratio for any given year”.
